Visual Paradigm Open API provide Java programming interface for manipulate diagrams and models within the project. In this article we will show you how to hide out attribute from class shape in class diagram. Suppose we would like to hide out the name attribute from Customer class in current opening diagram: Read more
The generalization set defines a set of generalization relationship that describe how the superclass may be divided by a set of subclasses. The generalization defined in the set can group together in diagram for better presentation of the model. The generalization set can defined via the GUI on diagram or using Open API. In this article you will learn how to create generalization set using Open API in Visual Paradigm. Read more
In class diagram the background color can apply to the entire class, or apply to individual class member. In this article we will demonstrate how to control the background color setting of class attributes in your activate diagram using Visual Paradigm Open API. Read more
Visual Paradigm support diagramming with various connector styles. In this article we will show you how to change the style of a connector using Open API. We will use class diagram and association as example to demonstrate how to change the connector style. Read more
Class Diagram from Unified Modeling Language is a typical diagram used to model the structure of a system. Class Diagram is one of the major diagram in object oriented modeling. The classes being modeled in class diagram can become the main objects in your system, describing the interactions of the application as well as the classes needed to be implement. Instead of creating class diagram manually, you can also create it programmatically using Open API. In this article we will show you how to create class diagram with Visual Paradigm’s Open API.

Upon receiving a problem report or request of enhancement, we do our best to make the necessary changes. You will then be suggested to update your Visual Paradigm installation to the patch release, in which the fix or enhancement has been made.
In this article, you will see the update instructions. Before you proceed, please note that a patch release is made to cater specific users for a specific fix/change. You should update to patch ONLY if you are suggested by Visual Paradigm. We do not recommend users to treat patch update as a daily routine. Read more
PERT Chart is a popular project management tool used to schedule, organize and coordinate task within a project. The word PERT stands for Program Evaluation Review Technique, a methodology developed by the U.S. Navy in 1950s to manage the Polaris submarine missile program. In Visual Paradigm the PERT Chart is not a stand still diagram, it can generate into actual executable tasks and assign to team members to carry out the work. In this article you will learn how to generate executable tasks form PERT Chart. Read more
When you want to build a new document for your project, use Doc. Composer’s ‘Build from Scratch’ mode.
If you want to insert project details (e.g. images, element details) into an existing Word document, use Doc. Composer’s ‘Fill-in Doc’ mode.
Doc. Composer features two modes – Build from Scratch and Fill-in Doc. Typically, a project documentation or report is a combination of background information like project goal, scope and constraints, and design details like use case details, database design, process design, etc. The Fill-in Doc mode of Doc. Composer is designed to help you “fill-in” the design details of your documentation.
Although Doc. Composer comes with a complete set of built-in element templates, you may still want to customize or even to write your own templates for maximizing the efficiency of document design. You can accomplish this by writing and programming your own element templates.
